upcoming Women’s Bi-

ble Study on the book

of Proverbs

(Wednesday evenings)

and the Moms Bible

Study (Tuesday morn-

ings).

A starlit path led guests

through the darkened

hall where “they found

the babe, wrapped in

strips of cloth and lying

in a manger.” Women

warmly welcomed their

friends and neighbors

with hot coffee and

conversation. Candle-

light shone on the faces

of Mary and Joseph, the

shepherds and magi in

nativity sets and other

mementos of Christ-

mases past. Soothing

music filled the room as

everyone settled in for

an afternoon of fellow-

ship with the

Christchild and with

one another.

Such was the scene at

Advent by Candlelight,

a ministry by and for

the women of St. John’s

and our community.

Held in the fellowship

hall on the Sunday after

Thanksgiving, Advent

by Candlelight invites

women and school-age

girls to relax and refocus

as they enter the busy

Christmas season. This

year’s event featured a

girls’ choir, a flautist,

solo and duet singers, a

family choir, and several

talented pianists per-

forming musical selec-

tions for the theme,

“Take Me to the Man-

ger.” Women of the

congregation took turns

reading Scripture. Many

helping hands worked

to create an atmosphere

of enjoyment for all.

Particular thanks go to

Janet Gehlhar, Advent

by Candlelight coordi-

nator. Mrs. Gehlhar

leads several women’s

ministry activities at St.

John’s, including the

What better way to kick

off the Christmas sea-

son than enjoying the

choral music of the

Kasson Christmas Can-

tata titled Heaven and

Nature Sing. Twelve

members of our con-

gregation really got into

the spirit by joining the

choir. The choir sang

many traditional Christ-

mas hymns that even

many young children

know. It was a very

delightful afternoon

and before the concert

even started, it had

started snowing out-

The choir was led by

Debra Burkel

Schwartau, who just

happens to be Joyce

Burkel's daughter and

former member of our

church. Did you notice

another former mem-

ber in the choir--Kris

Lilledahl?

The Kasson choir has a

tradition of finishing

each cantata with a

singing of The King is

Coming. Only a few

from St. John's had

heard the song before,

but they all enjoyed

singing it.

Afterward, the congre-

gation hosted h'our de

vours, sweets, coffee

and punch.

Gift of appreciated

securities

Do you own assets

such as stocks, bonds,

and mutual funds

which have increased in

value since they were

purchased? Have you

owned them for over

12 months?

If so, you may want to

consider using them to

make your charitable

gifts.

Here’s why. Any sale of

stock which has in-

creased in value since

purchase will result in a

capital gains tax, which

is the difference be-

tween the cost basis

and the selling price.

If you donate appre-

ciated securities –

you may enjoy a dou-

ble benefit.

1. You receive a chari-

table income tax deduc-

tion for the full fair

market value of the as-

set. A deduction ca be

taken up to 30% of

your adjusted gross in-

come. Excess deduc-

tions can be carried in-

to an many as five addi-

tional tax years if neces-

sary.

2. You avoid the capital

gains tax on the securi-

ty’s appreciation.

Here’s how it works.

Over the past years,

Lydia has given numer-

ous gifts to her congre-

gation and synod. Like

many of our Christian

friends, she owns stock

in various companies.

Each year, she chooses

to give a gift for the

Lord by transferring

stock which has appre-

ciated in value. Her

most recent gift was

stock she purchased

several years ago for

$600 and has increased

in value to $1,000.

Lydia’s initial invest-

ment of $600 resulted

in a $1,000 gift and a

$1,000 deduction on

her income taxes (Lydia

itemizes deductions on

her tax return). She also

avoided paying capital

gains taxes on her gift.

Lydia told us, “I think

it’s important to share my

blessings with my church

and the WELS.

Also, as I start planning

my retirement, my gift plan-

ning counselor can help me

use my stock to create a

charitable gift annuity

(CGA). That way I will

receive the income I need

and I can also provide a

nice gift for spreading the

gospel.”

Giving securities is one

of the many ways you

can combine your char-

itable giving goals with

effective estate and fi-

nancial planning.

How can I get help?

Your congregation has

Endowment/Trust

Fund committee mem-

bers who may be able

to help you.

Your synod also has

gift planning counselors

throughout the United

States who would also

be happy to help you.
